So Gavin this is just a catch-up after I destroyed my forum profile. I notice that the original forum is now working again so sorry if this is a double post. You have my lengthy report from last week’s Parkrun above.
Last Monday morning I ran my slow 10K up in the vineyards to the top of Zevenwacht. It’s actually quite a brutal climb with around 485M of vertical gain over the course. This was my go to weekly run when I was marathon training a few years back, a really tough but beautiful route mostly on farm roads. I did however manage to keep it pretty much within the zone 3 parameters as stipulated. The run itself was good, but I was pretty fatigued at the end and can feel that my glutes are quite tight. The time was a very pedestrian 1:18’53 over 10.84Km at an average HR of 130BPM.
